Hey Dad,,,There are no amount of words or gratitude that could possibly be expressed for the love and the chance of life that you and Mom chose to give me. If it were not for the both of you, I certainly would not have grown up to be the man I am today. I thank you for all that you have done to protect, guide and teach me so I can grow to be the man that both you and

Hey Dad,,,There are no amount of words or gratitude that could possibly be expressed for the love and the chance of life that you and Mom chose to give me. If it were not for the both of you, I certainly would not have grown up to be the man I am today. I thank you for all that you have done to protect, guide and teach me so I can grow to be the man that both you and Mom could be proud of. Both of you gave up a lot for me to make sure that the things needed to succeed were available to live an honest and rewarding life as you had done. Your sacrifice for me can never be questioned and your love for me was always unconditional although I know I tested that theory a time or two. Both you and Mom are two of the most incredible people anyone could have the chance to know and I had the chance to live with you. In these recent days they have been dark and lonely but I know you and Mom are together again with all the Puppies. I love you always and thank you for my life. Miss you.

He will listen to your prayer and pay attention to your pleas for help because he is near to all those calling on him. He will hear your cry for help and give you comfort. Your family have my deepest condolences. (Psalms 86:6-7)

You will now join Aunt Helen, your wife, family and friends that have gone before you as Jesus leads you to God. I will celebrate your life always. You were bold, selfless, kind, generous, strong, commanded respect of others as you showed respect to so many others. I am proud to know that you were such a strong patriarch to your family when it was needed. You retired from Winn Dixie Grocery where you were the Meet Market Manger before going to work at Shell Chemical and retired from there as well. I loved the stories you use to tell your nieces, nephews, friends and other family members. Your voice and laughter will echo forever. I am very proud to be your niece and know of your triumphs through life. You were always a man of his word, how rare that is in today's world. Your help to our family when we needed it was very gracious and I thank you for that. You and Aunt Helen raised your son, John Delvisco, Jr., to love and live life while being productive at the same time. John, Jr. please know that my immediate family and I will pray for your Dad to be joined with your Mom, young and very much in love. May God continue to Bless you and your immediate family.

We are very sorry to hear about John. He was a kind and generous man and a wonderful friend to my family. My mom and aunts loved him and Helen and enjoyed their many visits. May God bring you comfort and peace. We will keep you in our prayers.
